Bringing Childlike Wonder into the Artists Studio.

Just Make Art

Discover the secret to infusing your art with the timeless vibrancy of childhood wonder—a theme Aldous Huxley and Madeline L'Engle have both touched upon. Our episode unravels the delicate balance between preserving that infectious enthusiasm and the professionalism demanded by the art world. Join Nathan and Ty as they share tales from their own creative journey, facing critics while staying true to the abstract expressionist passion, and discuss the universal struggle of artists to protect and rekindle the creative spark that adulthood often dims.
Feel the tension lift as we uncover ways to bring playfulness back into the artistic process. We discuss why fear of failure can be the biggest blockade to creativity and share strategies that help silence the inner critic. From personal anecdotes of working through the stormy days to the euphoria of those moments when everything clicks, we explore how a childlike approach can transform the way we create—remembering that the true joy is found in the journey, not just the outcome.
In our final chapter, we reflect on how embracing the fresh-start mentality of a child can build resilience in our creative lives. Whether it's reaching for a new canvas after a disappointing effort or molding ideas with the flexibility of play-doh, adopting this mindset can reignite the spark of youthful enthusiasm in your work. So, join us for a heartfelt conversation that promises to leave you inspired to approach your next creative challenge with the same vigor and freshness as a child's first foray into a box of crayons.
